I just switched to Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. When I click on a link in my e-mails, it is still opening Internet Explorer. I checked everywhere in the options and I could not find a setting to change this. Any ideas?

I've read in the Firefox forum that there is a bug of sorts which says that Firefox does a poor job of making itself the default browser. What I've seen is that when you start Firefox and you say yes to the box that appears asking if it should become the default broswer, it doesn't work. Inside Firefox, you have to go to Tools, Options, General and look at the Default Browser box. Make sure it's not only checked, but hit the button that says "Check Now." It usually takes at that point (i.e. becomes the default).

Keep in mind that Firefox has been evolving a lot lately, and the user interface has changed a bit. What I've described above applies to my Firefox installation, the 7/26 nightly.

EDIT: Links in Poco and Barca open Firefox appropriately for me on this machine.
